On April 24, local time, the Paris International Construction Machinery and Building Materials Machinery Fair (INTERMAT 2024) opened in the Villeban Exhibition Center in the northern suburbs of Paris. As the world's leading high-end equipment manufacturer, Zoomlion brought about 30 products in 7 categories to the exhibition under the theme of "Greener Development Brighter Future". During the four-day exhibition, Zoomlion will showcase a new generation of high-end, intelligent and green products to 180,000 professional visitors from more than 160 countries and regions, showing the charm and strength of China's "intelligent manufacturing" to the world. High-end smart green products appeared Zoomlion Heavy Science exhibition area welcomes the boom of visitors In the exhibition area of Zoomlion Heavy Science, mini excavator, engineering lifting machinery, construction lifting machinery, Electric Excavator,concrete machinery, earthmoving machinery, aerial work machinery, industrial vehicles, m-tec dry mix mortar construction equipment and other products are placed in various booths, gathering into a "sea" of aurora green, which is particularly dazzling. "The exhibitors are Zoomlion's latest generation of product representatives, with high-end, intelligent, green characteristics," said Huang Chengya, deputy general manager of Zoomlion Overseas. Taking R135-8RA tower crane as an example, the product not only has the characteristics of high quality, high safety and high life, but also is equipped with an intelligent command center that can integrate ten core functions such as remote security inspection and remote equipment debugging, making it leading the industry in intelligence. At the Paris exhibition site, customers can also operate the tower crane in Changde, Hunan Province, more than 8,000 kilometers away through 5G technology, and intuitively feel the intelligent charm of Zoomlion products. It is understood that the product is also the only tower crane from China in this exhibition, and the visitors are in an endless stream. As the theme of Zoomlion's exhibition, "green" is also fully reflected in the exhibits, including new energy products, such as hybrid stirring trucks, electric aerial work platforms, lithium electric industrial vehicles, etc., as well as pump trucks, cranes, earthmoving machinery equipped with energy saving technology, to fully help the low-carbon development of the industry. In addition to intelligence and green, many of Zoomlion's products at the exhibition have also been locally improved according to the characteristics of the European market, and are more in line with local standards, working conditions and user habits in terms of product performance, technological innovation and appearance.

On April 12th, multiple stocks in the construction machinery sector were active in trading, with construction machinery, Xiagong Group, Jifeng Technology, Zhejiang Dingli and others leading the way in gains. In addition, the Ministry of Housing and Urban Rural Development recently issued the Implementation Plan for Promoting the Renewal of Building and Municipal Infrastructure Equipment (hereinafter referred to as the Implementation Plan). Analysts have indicated that the replacement cycle of domestic construction machinery will start, and the industry is cautiously looking forward to the market recovery effect this will bring. Equipment update policy introduced, industry demand bottoms out for repair The Implementation Plan proposes to update and eliminate construction machinery and equipment that have been in use for more than 10 years, high pollution, high energy consumption, severe aging and wear, and outdated technology, including excavation, lifting, loading, concrete mixing, elevators, bulldozers, and other equipment (vehicles). According to statistics from the China Construction Machinery Industry Association on major mini excavator manufacturing enterprises, in March 2024, sales of 24980 various types of excavators decreased by 2.34% year-on-year, including 15188 domestically, an increase of 9.27% year-on-year; Exported 9792 units, a year-on-year decrease of 16.2%. According to Lv Juan, an analyst in the China CITIC Construction Machinery Industry, the above policies are expected to become a key factor in initiating the replacement cycle of construction machinery. It is estimated that 2024 will be the year when the domestic market of construction machinery bottoms out and is expected to achieve a slight increase. With the promotion of policies and the arrival of the update cycle, 2025 is expected to usher in a clear upward turning point, and key component enterprises and top complete machine factories are expected to be the first to enter the performance repair window period. Huaan Securities issued a prediction that from the perspective of the whole year, domestic demand in the construction machinery industry will bottom out and export sales will increase. Considering the monthly distribution of last year's base, it is expected that the growth in the second half of the year will be faster than that in the first half. For the main models of excavators, March is the traditional peak sales season, and based on current judgments, domestic demand is expected to gradually bottom out and rebound. Be cautious about market trends and layout in the field of second-hand equipment Compared to the optimistic attitude of securities firms, practitioners are relatively cautious in their statements, but they are also continuously monitoring positive signals of the replacement cycle. A staff member from Sany Heavy Industry told Securities Daily, "The start of the replacement cycle will release a large amount of new demand for construction machinery, which is expected to last for three years. Currently, we are still observing the start signal stage and making relevant preparations. Considering that the notice will be issued soon, various regions will need time to introduce supporting policies. We will also develop corresponding replacement plans, price plans, and service packages based on local supporting policies." While closely monitoring the starting point of the replacement cycle, some construction machinery companies are also turning their attention to the second-hand construction machinery market. Shanhe Intelligence is one of the early companies to enter the field of second-hand construction machinery, with rich experience in evaluating equipment, refurbishing old machines, and exporting complete sets of second-hand equipment. "After the start of the replacement cycle, the second-hand construction machinery market is expected to usher in a peak supply period, and the demand for equipment evaluation, equipment refurbishment, and equipment dismantling and recycling is expected to increase. Construction machinery enterprises with mature technology, recycling channels, and relevant qualifications are more likely to find real gold in the second-hand construction machinery market. Currently, there is good demand in the infrastructure markets of East Asia, South Asia, and Southeast Asia. If the second-hand equipment replaced in this replacement cycle is refurbished, it is expected to be exported overseas and play a role again." It is reported that XCMG Machinery, Zoomlion Heavy Industry, Liugong and others have entered the field of second-hand equipment and have certain experience and cases in equipment recycling, equipment evaluation, equipment refurbishment, and second-hand equipment overseas. Professor Cao Erbao, Vice Dean of the School of Economics and Trade at Hunan University, analyzed the above situation and believes that two important links need to be grasped. He said, "After the replacement cycle of construction machinery starts, top enterprises need to seize two key points. Firstly, they need to seize the opportunity of advanced equipment replacing outdated equipment, and replace old equipment with more advanced, environmentally friendly, energy-saving and efficient new equipment to bring stronger endogenous power to the domestic market. Secondly, they need to seize the opportunity of recycling and reusing outdated used equipment, bring cost-effective and well serviced complete sets of products to the international market, and implement the business philosophy of resource conservation and environmental friendliness."
